What repositories do you have enabled?  Are you online?  Did you
install using the Desktop cd?



Build-essential and its dependencies are on the alternate cd.  The
packages are also on a repository on the Desktop (live) cd, but that
repo is seperate from the rest of the live session.



Once installed, you need to insert the live cd again while you are at
the ubuntu desktop and the package manager will pop up, asking if you
would like to use the packages on the cd's repo.



You will then be able to install build-essential.
